Plus Therapeutics’ nanotech platform is vital in the development of cancer therapies.
The company is developing 186RNL for recurrent GBM, pediatric brain cancer, and leptomeningeal metastases treatment. Plus Therapeutics has designed 186RNL to effectively, conveniently, and safely deliver enhanced radiation doses to the central nervous and rare tumors. Enrolment is currently ongoing for recurrent GBM patients in the US in the NIH-supported Multi-site ReSPECT-GBM Phase one dose-finding clinical study.
Also, Plus Therapeutics is focused on creating proprietary, targeted radiotherapies with nonliposome-encapsulated radionuclides to treat difficult-to-treat and rare cancers. Drug development is central to Plus Therapeutics’ proprietary nanotech platform that is designed to develop, produce, and commercialize several therapies for rare cancers and other difficult to treat diseases. In addition, the platform facilitates new delivery approaches and the formulation of effective and safe injectable treatments.
